| Sumario: | Abstract Telaprevir used as a protease inhibitor against hepatitis C virus is frequently associated with cutaneous adverse reactions. To explore a histological biomarker of cutaneous adverse events induced by telaprevir, we systematically searched for genes that were dysregulated by telaprevir in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Microarray analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed the significant increase in the expression of S100 calcium-binding protein A2 (S100A2) gene following treatment of NHEKs with telaprevir. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the expression of S100A2 was dominant in the spinous layer of the epidermis in patients with telaprevir-mediated severe-type drug eruptions and limited to the basal layer of the epidermis in healthy subjects. Furthermore, S100A2 expression increased after treatment with trichloroethylene and other medications, and the degree of S100A2 expression correlated with the severity of cutaneous adverse events. S100A2 expression also significantly increased in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Taken together, S100A2 is highly expressed in the epidermis under inflammatory conditions and drug eruptions and may serve as a marker for keratinocyte damage in response to any inflammatory or toxic condition. |
